Tech I need more help
I am the one with the S80 fuel pump issues. It seems to be running fine now but I am still loosing MPG everytime I turn it on. The computer had said I was getting close to 28 MPG. Now the computer says I am down to 21.1 MPG. I have not tested it by doing the math but had assumed it was close before. Is there any reason I would be loosing MPG so dramaticaly? I put new spark plugs in when I did the timing belt, and have had the oil changed recently. I do need a new air filter but didn't think that would make that large of a drop. Since I had the battery unhooked recently I have no CEL light. I have had a recuring CEL that has something to do with Emmisions. If I reset it stays off for about 90 miles. I thought this could be my gas cap because I had volvo do a smoke test or whatever they call it on the lines. They found nothing wrong. Someone else suggested the gas cap could be tripping the CEL , but I have not put a new one on yet. Next time they come on i will record the codes and post them. Once again thank you everyone who posts on this forum. I couldn't own a volvo without you all. LOL Ron Z

RE: Tech I need more help
I wanted to add to my post above. I feel as though the engine is running very rich. I can see the exhaust as it leaves the tailpipe. This is new it used to run very clean u couldn't see any exhaust. I would say maybe the smoke has a blue tint to it. Very stinky. hope this helps Thank you
